Power Up Your 100 Series: Supercharger and Accessory Upgrades

The Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series is one of the most versatile SUVs ever built. Known for its independent front suspension, comfortable ride, and legendary Toyota durability, it has become a favorite among Overlanders and enthusiasts who want both refinement and off-road performance.

Yet even the most loyal 100 Series owners agree on one thing: the stock V8, while reliable, can feel underpowered when hauling gear or pushing through challenging terrain.

This is where the Bullet Supercharger transforms the platform. By adding forced induction to the 2UZ-FE engine, the 100 Series gains the power it was always missing. When paired with the right accessories, the result is a Land Cruiser that combines factory refinement with modern-day performance and capability.

Why Choose a Bullet Supercharger for the 100 Series

The 2UZ-FE V8 found in the 100 Series is famously long-lived but conservative in its power output. The Bullet Supercharger system was engineered specifically for this engine, delivering smooth, reliable power without compromising drivability. Unlike aftermarket turbo kits that introduce lag and heat, the Bullet setup provides immediate throttle response and consistent gains across the RPM range.

Owners who add this upgrade notice instant improvements in highway performance, hill climbing, and towing capacity. For long-distance expeditions or daily use, the supercharger doesn’t just add horsepower; it changes the entire driving experience, making the 100 Series feel modern and responsive.

Complementing Power with Proper Accessories

A supercharged Land Cruiser is only as capable as the components that support it. Corsetti Cruisers’ team approaches each 100 Series build as a complete system, ensuring accessories enhance both performance and reliability.

Common upgrades paired with Bullet Supercharger installations include:

• Cooling system upgrades: Additional power generates more heat, so upgraded radiators and cooling fans keep the engine within safe operating temperatures.

• Exhaust systems: A free-flowing exhaust reduces backpressure and improves efficiency, helping the supercharger deliver its full potential.

• Suspension tuning: Independent front suspension on the 100 Series benefits from upgraded shocks, springs, and bushings, which balance the added weight of accessories and enhance handling under power.

• Braking improvements: With more horsepower, upgraded brakes ensure safe stopping distances, especially when towing or carrying heavy loads.

• Overland accessories: Roof racks, bumpers, lighting, and storage solutions allow owners to turn their supercharged Land Cruiser into the ultimate adventure rig.

• All new front runner drive assembly belts to make sure the motor is completely serviced and upgraded.

From Restoration to Modernization

While the 100 Series is newer than the classic FJ40, FJ60, or FJ62, it is already becoming a sought-after platform for restoration and customization. Many clients come to us not only for mechanical upgrades but also for cosmetic restoration, like fresh paint, new upholstery, and period-correct classic Toyota decals that preserve the original look while incorporating modern touches.

A 100 Series fitted with a Bullet Supercharger and accessorized for overland travel strikes the perfect balance: vintage Toyota DNA paired with modern upgrades that enhance usability without erasing character.

Why the 100 Series is an Ideal Supercharger Candidate

Compared to earlier models, the 100 Series is more refined, offering better on-road comfort and a more luxurious interior. This makes it an excellent platform for owners who want a Land Cruiser capable of double duty, serving as a reliable daily driver during the week and an expedition-ready rig on weekends.

The independent front suspension gives it better road manners than the 80 Series, and when properly upgraded with suspension kits, the 100 Series handles the extra horsepower of the Bullet Supercharger with ease. This combination makes it one of the most versatile Land Cruisers we restore and modify.

Investing in Long-Term Performance

The Land Cruiser market continues to evolve, and values for clean 100 Series examples are beginning to rise. A professionally installed Bullet Supercharger increases desirability for future buyers. When combined with a restoration or customization project, the upgrade secures long-term value and ensures the vehicle remains relevant for decades to come.

For clients considering the long game, keeping their 100 Series for family use, adventure travel, or as part of a collection, the supercharger is a performance investment that enhances both utility and market value.
